Review: Listen to the quietest voices - I work as a CNA at a facility for long term acute care of people with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. This book was left by the family in the room of a younger patient (teenager) who had to be supervised 1-on-1 at all times due to his injury. I have since heavily suggested it to many of my coworkers in healthcare and child care. It is a very simple read, but very moving and thought provoking even so. "Out of My Mind" is the story of a little girl who just wants to be able to be heard and seen. She has spastic quadriplegia and cerebral palsy, but a photographic memory. She remembers everything that she has ever heard or seen, but is able to say nothing. I would ask you to take a moment and contemplate what it would be like to be in that position. She is treated as a baby, an invalid, someone stupid and incompetent because she looses control of her muscles and can't behave as a "normal" child. Can you imagine having above average intelligence and memory, but everyone treats you as if you have the mental capacity of an 18 month old... and no way to correct them? This is the story of how she was able to develop the skills and be given the tools to make her voice heard. It is also a coming-of-age story. It's the story of her commentary on how people treat her, and her experiences being in "special" education classes, how she is able to see the beauty and wisdom in her classmates that the rest of the school has "thrown away" in the dingiest classrooms in the corner of the school. It's also the story of a 5th grade little girl's desire to be accepted just as she is. As someone who commonly works with TBIs, it's also a reminder of the proverbial "don't judge a book by its cover". I may be working with someone who is completely unresponsive, but it's impossible to know how much is actually being understood and comprehended. I have had coworkers who either treat unresponsive patients like nothing more than dolls or like idiots, and it always offends me. While this is a young adult book, it is definitely a book also important for adults to read. I would read this with an elementary-aged school child, but I would also read it with an adult group. It's a fast read - written as though by a very intelligent 5th grader - but the message is much more complex and powerful.
Review: It is a great book for Tweens and teenagers - This book I read as a book club book and I am so glad that I did. I love how melody is such an inspiring person and I hope that anyone that reads this understands Melody's condition and how hard her life is.
